Hi David. I am using the excellent tool, Product Mapping. However, you probably know how difficult is sometimes map same items (even you check all alternatives).
Today, I have figured an idea that could lead to more accurate results. The idea is to add a new box into productsmap_configure.php with a minimum price for threshold.
For example, if you map for Iphone 7 128GB and you put 400€ for minimum price, you will discard a lot of cases, cables, accesorios, for instance.
Do you think is viable this idea? How could we implemented it?
Thank you for your time.
Excellent David. I am going to test it in next import!
I will post any problem (I hope not).
Thank you for your time.
Hi,
That would be straight forward to implement if you wanted to experiment with this approach - first create and run the following dbmod.php script to add a new `min_price` field to the `productsmap` table;
<?phprequire("includes/common.php");
$sql = "ALTER TABLE `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."productsmap`
ADD `min_price` DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0.00'
";
database_queryModify($sql,$result);
print "Done.";
?>
Edit admin/productsmap_configure.php and look for the following code at line 83:
image_url = '".database_safe($_POST["image_url"])."',...and REPLACE with:
image_url = '".database_safe($_POST["image_url"])."',min_price = '".database_safe($_POST["min_price"])."'
And then the following code at line 115:
widget_textBox("Custom Image URL","image_url",FALSE,$productmap["image_url"],"",6);...and REPLACE with:
widget_textBox("Custom Image URL","image_url",FALSE,$productmap["image_url"],"",6);widget_textBox("Minimum Price","min_price",FALSE,$productmap["min_price"],"",6);
Edit includes/admin.php and look for the following code at line 297:
if (isset($admin_importProductMappingsOverrides[$importRecord["name"]]))...and REPLACE with:
global $admin_importProductMappingsMinPrice;if ($importRecord["original_name"] != $importRecord["name"])
{
if (tapestry_decimalise($importRecord["price"]) < $admin_importProductMappingsMinPrice[$importRecord["name"]])
{
$importRecord["name"] = $importRecord["original_name"];
}
}
And then the following code at line 555:
global $admin_importProductMappings;...and REPLACE with:
global $admin_importProductMappings;global $admin_importProductMappingsMinPrice;
And finally the following code at line 630:
$alternates = explode("\n",$productsmap["alternates"]);...and REPLACE with:
$alternates = explode("\n",$productsmap["alternates"]);$admin_importProductMappingsMinPrice[$productsmap["name"]] = $productsmap["min_price"];
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
